This St Antonin costs a fraction of its AOC CdP, and is fantastic. Great value for your buck.
Fragrant, medium-high to highly aromatic nose leads with savoury meaty notes, mingling with spices, garrigue, kirsch, dark berry, black cherry, and blackberry aromas. Impressively concentrated on the medium-full to full-bodied palate, it has savoury, earthy, and green herb flavours surrounding a dark berry, garrigue, and kirsch flavoured core. There's a touch of warmth on the mid-palate, but not out balance, along with fresh, juicy acidity, and smooth, refined, lightly chalky tannins. Finishes savoury with stony minerals on the long finish. Tasted May 2022.

Lotta booze. Nice fruit.
Spot-on Cotes du Rhone for sure - ripe fruit, herbs, pepper, seductive. Yet another example of how this region can produce excellent reds without having to pay a small fortune. Delicious! Tasted Feb 2021.
